All immigration should be legal and controlled. What has happened in the USA the last 3-4 decades is abhorrent. Trump did a great job counter punching the leftists, who told illegals via MSM and social media, to line up at border entry points and apply for asylum as a technicalilty, with his remain in Mexico MPP. He also was immediately deporting those caught no more catch and release.
Biden accused Trump for his own folly of breaking the law by dismantling Constitutional laws set forth by Congress with re to border restrictions against using cages to house children crossing the border without parents or family.
Trump separated young children from their parents.. Obama and Biden are dealing with unaccompanied minors.
I would be surprised if this is still not the case. DNA testing proves if the adults are related to the children. If you are against this then one is supporting child trafficking. The reason adults look for children, unrelated to them, is because family units (and are again) are released faster.
It’s a situation Border Patrol Agent Hermann Rivera faced far too often: an adult illegal alien approaching him with a child in tow, seeking asylum in the United States.
“He initially stated that the child was his kid,” Rivera said. But after carefully checking his documents and pressing the issue, the man admitted the truth. “’I’m not sure whose child this is,’” Rivera said the man told Border Patrol agents when he finally revealed the truth.
It’s something that has happened thousands of times in the past year. In fact, Border Patrol agents identified more than 6,200 fraudulent family members in fiscal year 2019, which runs from Oct. 1, 2018 through Sept. 30, 2019. This is at a time when Border Patrol agents apprehended over 473,000 people who presented themselves as a family unit.
The reason so many are making the perilous journey through Mexico with a child – whether it’s a fraudulent family or a biological parent or legal guardian – is obvious: many before them were allowed to stay in the United States despite their illegal entry across the border. In the recent past, CBP could hold most families just a few days before releasing them into the U.S. or transferring them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who by a 2015 court order had to release families into the United States within 20 days. The result was that these families were able to remain in the U.S. – often indefinitely.
